Thanks for sharing these George! I’m always away on business for my job at DISH, and I am a TV junkie, so I’m glad there are so many ways for me to keep up with my shows while I’m on the go. I’ve used a couple of these apps before, but I’d have to say my favorite is DISH Remote Access. With my Sling Adapter set up at home I’m able to use the app to watch all of my favorite shows from home, live or from off my DVR, anywhere I go in the world. I love using it, especially when it comes to checking up on my local news while I’m half way across the country.
